Madonna Takes A Spill, While Former Chef Spills On Her Parenting Skills - Page 2
Eric Lenco, who worked for Madonna as her cook and housekeeper, has given his thoughts on Madonna's current appeals to adopt a fourth child.He said: "When she's with the children, she is a devoted mum. She just doesn't spend much time with them. It's a puzzle why she wants to adopt again. She's hardly ever with her children. She's got two full-time nannies and one part-time nanny. So why adopt a kid when somebody else is raising them?"
"She gets up and has a coffee, then she does two hours of yoga," he says. "Then there's two hours of pilates and exercise. That's six days a week. After that she deals with her email, her calls and the rest of her business. And after that, she spends maybe half an hour with the kids. Madonna puts herself before the kids. When she adopted little David, he arrived at her home from Africa, and three hours later, she left to do pilates. Wouldn't you think she'd want to spend the entire day with her new son?"
The ex-cook also says her previous adoption led to the end of her marriage. "Madonna thought [David] would bring them together, but Guy was dead against adopting, so, for the marriage, it was the final nail in the coffin."
This should be a shock to no one, most especially for Madonna herself. She long ago blamed her failed marriage to first hubby Sean Penn on her inability to devote time and attention to a relationship, and practically brags about how self-involved she is. Why on earth would someone that selfish want to bring another child into their life? Especially a child who would desperately need some serious one-on-one attention for any kind of proper bonding to occur.
Riches and luxury are great, but they are no replacement for love, nurturing and parental attention. Workaholics and attention whores like Madonna and Angelina Jolie should really think twice before sucking innocent children into their crazy, ego-centric world.
